Estonia Coat of Arms, Three Lions

Estonia · 1928 · 5 senti

This definitive stamp features the greater coat of arms of Estonia, which consists of three blue lions passant guardant on a golden shield. The design is a classic representation of the nation's heraldic symbol, which dates back to the 13th century. The denomination '5 Senti' is displayed at the bottom, with 'EESTI' inscribed at the top.

Issued during Estonia's first period of independence (1918-1940), this stamp was part of a long-running definitive series that symbolized the young republic's sovereignty and national identity before its occupation during World War II.
